Tech sites that once were great places to learn new things have

Because they need to earn money and 99% of websites earn money via ads. To earn more money they need more click, and they get those clicks by writing clickbaiting shit.

Even /g/ is becoming dumbed-down.

The discussions on here a couple of years ago had some semblance of intelligence in them, nowadays it's all about "memes!"

Probably because the internet is slowly but surely killing people's attention spans and this leads to thinking in the ways of instant gratification.
Which in turn means that no one is going to take any time to educate themselves on any level, as in learn a skill or actually go and figure out what things are about, because it's boring and takes time.
They'd rather spout memes and "facts" they picked up from some clickbait site, than do any kind of critical thinking.
Also the twitter instagram crap is constantly encouraging people to have less and less lenghty discussion.
It's all about short 15 word comments nowadays.

Which is totally fine with me, let them be retarded.
Less competition for me in the future.

>Mfw I'm into art and people ask me to instruct them. These are often my customers.
>Ok, I'll do it. Let's see what happens.
>They practically give up after a week, because they didn't git gud during that time period and art turned out to be pretty fucking hard.
>Even after they sunk over 1k into the materials, tablets, pens, etc.. they're willing to just give up on the spot.
Consumerism is strong with the generations that are nearing their 20s
But it's really a great thing.
Selling things has never been this easy and I suggest that you guys try and make use of their idiotic spending habits in some way.

Even /vr/ is beginning to look more and more like /v/ now that those fucking retards redirected them to /vr/.

People grew up and now need money to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. They have to earn a living and they'll do it even if it means writing clickbait articles.
